This National Hunger Action Month, Clarington is once again working with the Region of Durham and other local municipalities to help raise awareness, food donations, and funds to fight hunger in the community.
As the Durham Region continues to grow rapidly and food prices increase, more people are experiencing homelessness and using food banks and related services than ever before. Feed the Need in Durham, which distributes food to local food banks and hunger relief programs, has seen the number of people accessing their services double over the past three years, reaching 10,000 clients per month.
From September 5 to 28, there will be numerous drop-off locations, making it easy for residents, businesses and community groups to donate non-perishable food items.
